Twice as nice

Oregon-Davis has two reasons to celebrate

Oregon-Davis has two reasons to celebrate

April 10, 2007

HAMLET -- There's never been a picture like this one in the state of Indiana. That's because no high school ever has won the state basketball title in both the boys and girls divisions in the same year. Until Oregon-Davis did it this year. One championship photo. Two championship teams. The girls team won its Class 1-A title first, defeating Oakland City Wood Memorial in the championship game on March 3. The Bobcats completed their magical season with a 25-3 record. The boys team followed three weeks later with a Class 1-A championship of its own. On March 24, the boys team defeated Barr-Reeve in the finals, for a season record of 27-1. In the 31 years since Indiana high school basketball expanded to include a girls tournament, this was the first time one high school won both titles. It's rare that The Tribune would run a photo with so many faces. But our readers should know what excellence looks like. Bobcats. Excellence looks like Bobcats.
